Young Skinny’s “Warui Hito” (“Bad Person”) portrays the raw emotions of a woman being tossed around by a single man.

It’s a self-cover that rebuilds the song—originally written by Kayau for Kanano Senritsu—into a full band arrangement.

Released in January 2026 and included on the album “You Who Speak in Logic, and Me of Emotions,” which came out the following February, it was crafted as an answer song to their signature track “Gomi Ningen, Ore” (“Trash Human, Me”).

The lingering attachment and self-contradictions that sway within a relationship, paired with a translucent sound, are sure to tighten your chest.

The piece also drew attention as a release timed just before their first-ever solo show at the Nippon Budokan.

It’s a song to sit with on sleepless nights, when you’re tormented by irreconcilable feelings—loving someone and hating them all at once.

Have you ever had a fleeting scent suddenly awaken a long-sleeping feeling of love deep in your memory? Using an unforgettable lingering fragrance as the key, Young Skinny’s exquisite ballad vividly portrays unbreakable regrets and attachments.

By deliberately leaving out keyboards and building the arrangement around guitar and Kayu’s vocals, the stripped-back sound underscores the trembling of earnest emotions.

This track opens the EP “Bukiyō na Watashi Dakara,” released in March 2024.

In the music video, award-winning actress Suzuharu Kawashima stars, and its play-like structure drew considerable attention.

It’s a masterpiece that gently stays beside those spending sleepless nights, hearts clenched by memories of past love.

A rock number that portrays a clumsy love swaying between reason and emotion.

Even knowing you’ll end up hurting someone important, some listeners may feel their chest tighten at the earnest wish—born of one’s own weakness—to have them stay by your side.

Kayayuu’s unadorned words intertwine with a band sound that seems to render emotional tremors directly into music, powerfully shaking the heart.

Featured as the lead track on the album “You Speak in Logic, I’m All Emotion,” released in February 2026, this song resonates deeply.

The music video’s shocking scenes of smashing objects in a room convey uncontrollable regret and pain.

It’s a track to sit with on nights when you carry feelings that can’t be resolved by right and wrong alone, yet still find yourself longing for someone.

Have you ever lost your temper and hurled cruel words you didn’t mean at someone you care about? Neither side can back down, and before you know it, you’re trading barbs and hurting each other… This painfully real portrayal of a couple’s fight—and the regret that follows—is exactly what Young Skinny captures in this song.

Released in November 2025 as the lead track from the album “You Speak with Logic, I’m All Emotion,” which will drop in February 2026.

The down-to-earth lyrics penned by Kayayuu, where sound arguments and raw feelings collide, are bound to pierce listeners’ hearts.

If you listen to it on a night when you’re having a one-person postmortem—thinking, “I shouldn’t have said that”—it might help you accept your own weakness and give you the courage to apologize honestly.

It’s a song that makes you empathize with a clumsy kind of love.

Acknowledging your own flaws yet still yearning to be loved—that contradictory feeling.

Young Skinny’s latest work sets that earnest emotion to a high-velocity guitar rock sound.

It’s included on their major-label debut album, “If You Turn It Into a Song, You Can Get Away With Anything,” released in March 2023, and also drew attention as the theme song for the drama “Crime Family.” The lyrics, oscillating between a brazen front and deep self-loathing, will likely strike a painfully deep chord with anyone frustrated by love or relationships that just won’t go right.

It’s a heart-wrenching rock number you’ll want to play on nights when you can’t help blaming your helpless self, or when you’re feeling sentimental.

A collaboration track by Young Skinny that carries a bittersweet feeling, like exhaling wavering emotions along with cigarette smoke on a balcony steeped in the scent of everyday life.

Released digitally in February 2024, it’s included on their major-label second EP, “Bukiyō na Watashi Dakara” (Because I’m Clumsy).

The band welcomes their first-ever guest feature, Kanano Senritsu, and the sound—where a chill beat intertwines with keyboard tones—feels so pleasant.

Many listeners will likely relate to the unstable relationship portrayed through Kayau’s raw lyrical expressions and the rap parts that weave together male and female perspectives.

Capturing hearts across social media, the song reached No.

1 on Billboard JAPAN’s TikTok chart in April 2024.

It’s a number you’ll want to play on nights when the evening breeze brushes past and your chest tightens as you think of someone.

A love song by Young Skinny set in the specific neighborhood of Sangenjaya, depicting the missed connections and genuine affection of awkward lovers.

With Yutaro Furudate participating in the arrangement, the track’s sound strikingly combines pop warmth with a heart-wrenching sense of wistfulness.

Released in July 2025, it was produced as a live anthem with an eye toward their Nippon Budokan concert in February 2026.

There are call-and-response sections designed with the audience in mind, conjuring a vivid image of the whole venue united in excitement.

It’s a number you’ll want to listen to when you’re troubled by a love that isn’t going smoothly, or on nights when you cherish the quiet moments with someone important.

Many will likely find themselves relating to the lyrics that capture everyday life with raw honesty.
